To educate means: 1. to provide schooling, 2. to develop mentally or morally, esp. by instruction. A synonym is “to teach.” Our Founding Fathers recognized the importance of education to preserve the democratic nature of our country.
To indoctrinate means: 1. to instruct, especially in fundamentals or rudiments: Teach, 2. to imbue with a usually partisan or sectarian opinion, point of view, or principle. Nazi Germany indoctrinated its people to further the cause (or curse) of Nazism through militarism, hatred of the “other,” and strict conformity to the dictates of its Dictator, Adolph Hitler.
In May of 2008, the California Supreme Court struck down a 2000 law that restricted same sex couples from marriage denying to them rights under the equal protection clause of the California Constitution that is similar to the equal protection clause in the United States Constitution.
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
ARTICLE 1 DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
SECTION 1. All people are by nature free and independent and have
inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and
liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing
and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
Proposition 8 amends the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry within the state. It defines marriage as only between one man and one
woman.
Proposition 8 would deny constitutional rights and protections to homosexuals. The selling point of those who propose and sanction this proposition is that their children may be educated to the fact that homosexuals have the same rights as heterosexuals.
And for the citizens of our state who support the proposition in the wildly uneducated but strongly indoctrinated belief that homosexuality can be taught to their children in school and by use of books about gay marriage, they believe passing such an amendment will protect their children from the “evils” of education and provide them rather with the benefits of indoctrination to prejudice and intolerance, regardless of the facts of life.
Also, in the sad and harmful belief that they are acting morally by supporting Proposition 8, they are sadly harming a significant number of people in the State of California by their immoral act.
Vote NO on proposition 8!

REDUCE HEALTH CARE COSTS THE EASY WAY
Jesus, where are you when we need you?
The cost of health care in the United States is twice as much per capita as the cost in any other westernized country in the world. The quality of health care ranks 24th in quality and availability when compared with those other countries. This amazing state of affairs has brought tragedy to many Americans and shock, dismay, and poor health care to a large number of insured people, mostly the working lower and middle classes. In addition, because of the high cost of health care insurance, many Americans are forced into frightening situation of not being able to obtain any health care outside of government or charitable offerings.
The reason for this situation is that a substantial amount of money that goes into the health care system, goes to companies that do not deliver any form of health care, namely, the insurance companies. Most of that money goes into profits, executive officer compensation at extremely high levels, and into the reserve pot of money from which actual payment for delivery of health care is drawn.
That "pot of money" is invested by the insurance companies for profit making purposes and that profit does not get injected back into the pot but instead goes into the coffers of the insurance companies for their own uses, namely, distribution of dividends to shareholders.
The easy way to reduce heath care costs is to remove all insurance companies from the health care field. The only costs that will continue are the costs of clerical workers (who are trained to deny health care to insureds under an enormous variety of pretexts) and other necessary costs such as office supplies, rent, and usual and customary costs of any legitimate business.
Then the "pot of money" can be invested in the same way the insurance companies invest it and the profits returned for delivery of health care.
This is comparable to Jesus chasing money-lenders from the temple.

AMENDMENTS FOR ALL AMERICANS
The County Clerk gets anywhere from $10 to $25 to issue a state approved marriage license. Pastor Priest Mullah gets as much as possible to guarantee God approved Holy Matrimony. RELIGION HAS INFILTRATED GOVERNMENT - NO? Fortunately, the population has a choice about most aspects of marriage.
You are not allowed to masturbate. Black and white may not marry. You can be arrested and fined for having or giving oral sex. No matter how lonely a cowboy is, he may not have sex with a cow. It’s OK for a teacher to talk about war and killing and bloodshed to the kids in her class. It should be a federal offense to say that two women or two men can get married.
I would like to see constitutional amendments for some very important values in my eyes. Making dictionary definitions into law or changing dictionary definitions into law, does not get me excited. Like “Marriage must be between a man and a woman,” does not strike me as warranting a change to the foundational laws of the United States. Now, if it were to be changed to, “Marriage must be between a man and a woman of the same color,” that would get me excited. Or, “Masturbation, oral sex, and bestial sodomy, not leading to human conception, are against the interests of the United States,” would be a good constitutional amendment. Or how about,”Showing pictures of war and bloodshed on television is OK, but showing a bare breast, by shocking the under-eighteen year old population, is forbidden.” I know that Pastor Priest Mullah would like such constitutional amendments.
How about a constitutional amendment that states, “No person in the United States may be denied health care due to “Insufficient Funds.” Or, “No establishment shall make a profit by controlling the distribution of health care if that establishment does not provide health care.”
How about, “There shall be a single national standard for driver education and testing in the United States.”
I like amendments that are not faith-based and that have wide beneficial impact on the people of the United States. How do you feel about that?

BELIEF, TRUTH, AND REALITY
Belief requires no proof of any kind. Reality requires proof.
There is a real reality and a fake - or many fake - realities. Reality is what is. Proof of reality requires acceptance of scientific method. First, there is a theory. Then there is the gathering of data and information. Then, if theory and data agree, you have a fact. That is reality.
Creating fake reality is like creating magic. You convince the viewer that what he sees is real. The more realistic it looks or the harder it is to see the mechanisms whereby the magic is performed, the closer you get to fake reality. You do not prove that magic is real or reality. Watching it sends the viewer away with the question, "How did he do it?"
If you do not agree with this analysis, please tell me. If you agree with this analysis, I'll go to a couple of the fake realities of the day and show you how the magic was performed.
BTW, I am not trying to prove or disprove the existence of God. But I truly believe that God is not real nor a reality. He is a fake reality conjured up for good and evil by manipulators of mankind for good and nefarious ends.
Truth is what you believe to be true. Figure that one out.

MARRIAGE IS A CONTRACT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE
Marriage is a contract, generally between two people of the opposite sex, the same religious persuasion, the male being the elder and larger of the couple, the same ethnic background and the same color. But that is only “generally,” and it is generally the situation in the United States. IT COULD BE VERY DIFFERENT!
In other countries, other restrictions or conditions “generally” apply, such as, payment of money, goods, or livestock by one party or the party’s family to the other party or party’s family, or permission by one of the party’s fathers or parents for a marriage to take place after investigation into various requirements or prohibitions such as class, tribal affiliation, relative wealth, or other conditions common to the culture of the marrying people. When all the issues are settled, as in civil contract law that requires an Offer, an Acceptance, and Consideration, that is, an exchange of something of value between the parties, the contract is then affirmed.
Religious officialdom has imposed rules and regulations on marriage that are as varied as the religions themselves and the representatives of those religions who have been given the right by a higher-up to pronounce the marriages “OK.” All religions call for their particular God to bless the contract and make it holy, or whatever “holy” means to them. But contracts are between people, and judging from the rate of divorce, and despite the “holy matrimony,” contracts can be broken – and sometimes should be broken.
The United States, by virtue of its laws, its diversity, and the intelligence and way of life of the American people, has legally done away with such conditions and requirements. In most marriage license-providing government offices, the only requirement is a blood test assuring the couple and the state that neither of them have a sexually transmitted disease, presumably for the health and safety of each member of the couple and their potential offspring. With license in hand, the couple is married in the eyes of the law. But they must be of the opposite sex except in three states, where a couple can be of the same sex and obtain a marriage license.
What the Framers of the constitution of the United States put asunder, Church and State, God has joined together. Joan of Arc can now be burned at the stake and the Spanish Inquisition’s Torquemada can pull people apart on the wheel because they are destroying the sanctity of the state’s Gods. The religionists of America have united to assure that only THEIR Gods can determine the validity of the contract between two people who love, honor, and cherish each other until death do they part.
California’s passage of Proposition 8 will prohibit the state from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. And America moves a little closer to its own destruction as a free country.

ORGANIZED CRIME
The American people have been subjected to theft, rape, and murder by extraordinarily successful gangsters in very expensive suits smoking very expensive cigars living in very expensive mansions. How? By theft of savings and retirement plans’ investments; rape of unwitting home-owners being screwed out of their deposits and the accumulated principals paid by them, however small or screwed out of health care by the "health coverage" crowd; and murder of jobs and murder of the futures of the masses of unemployed and murder of their children’s futures. That’s how!
This criminal activity was exponentially enhanced by the large number of mobs in cahoots with each other to perpetrate their crimes. The “mobs” were not Mafia or Columbian drug dealers. They were – and are – the bankers, the stock brokers, the insurance companies, the real estate conglomerates, and other entities that controlled, and still control, the amassed savings of millions of the lower and middle classes, and a small portion of the upper class of Americans. And, they were and currently are, aided and abetted in their criminal activity by lawless lawmakers in the three branches of government of the United States; the “de-regulators.”
The so-called “bailout” of these criminals and their companies is simply the further raiding of taxpayer dollars to assure the survival of this systematic pillaging and its morphing into a new and perhaps less obvious deadly form.
Short of a revolution, a legal armed rebellion against the wealthy perpetrators and their replacement by a strictly imposed law-and-order anti-capitalist culture of humanist ethical leaders, there is simply no way to overcome the power elite who have conducted this organized crime wave against the American people. These criminals belong in jail as do all members of organized crime - policed by ethical guardians of ethical laws, and not by their criminal pals.

EXPLAINING OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?'
Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense..'
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him . He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
He gives up and goes back to bed .
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. '
The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.'
The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the future is in deep shit.
